Two versions of the Annual Notice are available: a grades K-8 version and a grades 9-12 version.

Greetings Saxons,

 

The start of the school year in Saxon Country has been truly exceptional. Our students have seamlessly adapted to their new schedules and teachers, and we're excited about the promising year ahead. While there's not much to report this week, I do have a couple of important reminders.

 

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to each of you for your ongoing support and partnership in creating a positive learning environment for all our scholars. As we prioritize academic excellence, we must also ensure our children's physical safety. Please remind your students of the importance of safe pedestrian practices. Before crossing the street, they should look left, right, left again, and make eye contact with approaching drivers. They should only cross when they have the right of way or if a driver has yielded.

 

Additionally, we've noticed instances of unsafe driving in our parking lot during arrival and dismissal times. Please remember that the speed limit on school property is 15 MPH. Given the high volume of pedestrian traffic, it's crucial for everyone to be alert and mindful of their surroundings while on school grounds.

 

Thank you for your help in keeping our children safe. I wish you and your family a wonderful and restful weekend.

Fondly,

 

Important Technology Updates for the 2024-2025 School Year

Lightspeed Classroom Management: As part of our commitment to creating a safe and focused learning environment for our students, Langley High School is using a classroom management tool that will help teachers better connect with student devices during classes. This tool will provide teachers with a number of helpful features:

• Easily view student screens in real time from the teacher console to see which students may need guidance or support.
• Focus student attention on a particular website on their device to minimize distractions.
• Pause student access to the internet to focus on other classroom tasks.

We believe this classroom management tool will allow us to maximize class time to support your student’s learning while at school. Please note that student devices will not be monitored outside of school hours. The regular filters remain in place on school devices, but once they are home, teachers cannot monitor students. As parents, we would like to encourage you to sign up for your own Lightspeed reports, which will allow you to see how your child is spending time on the computer during and after school hours.

 

Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of technology that involves computer programming and data. There are many different types of AI tools. Some can use data to make predictions, decisions, and/or generate content. Teachers will specify when it is acceptable for students to use AI on any part of an assignment. Teachers will also review expectations for citing AI as well as how students should show their work and explain their use of AI. Students should follow the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Honor Code to maintain academic integrity. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the work they submit. Students should not use AI on an assignment unless the teacher has given permission. AI tools can produce false information called “AI hallucinations.” Students should always check what AI creates. Students should make sure it matches the needs of the project and audience. Students remain responsible for the content they submit.

 

Before using AI tools on assignments, students should ask their teacher(s): 

• if AI can be used on any part of an assignment, 
• how it can be used, 
• how to show their work, and 
• how to cite or explain their use of AI. 

 

In general, students should not enter any of the following information into AI Tools: 

• personal information (name, date of birth, etc.); 
• education records (grades, transcripts, etc.); and 
• work that belongs to others.

 

You can search the FCPS Digital Ecosystem Library (DEL) using "AI" (in quotes).  It will show you which AI tool features are approved for use on FCPS devices or networks. The DEL provides information on approved audiences for each tool. Student use of AI must comply with the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R). This includes the Acceptable Use Policy in Appendix A of the SR&R. 

 

Personal devices may enable access to AI tools not approved in the DEL. 

• Teachers will not require the use of AI tools that are not approved in FCPS. 
• Parents/Caregivers decide what access to AI tools is appropriate on personal devices. 
• Parents and students should read the AI tool's terms of service and privacy policies. Find out what kind of information the AI tool can collect, use, and share and what age students must be to use the tool. Check who retains rights to the data entered, the ability to delete data, and the ability to opt out of data sharing. Be aware that some AI tools may keep the information students enter and use it without permission. Students might not keep all rights to their work. 
• Students should be careful with any information you give an AI tool. 

Parents can explore resources from CommonSense Media: Resources on AI and Parent Tips and FAQs.

Regardless of whether a student uses a personal device or an FCPS device, students must follow teachers' expectations, the Honor Code, and SR&R.

Greetings Saxons,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. As we prepare for Monday, teachers and staff are eagerly awaiting the return of students to the building. Many hours of work and preparation have been put in to ensure a fantastic start for each student. Our goal for the year is to provide rich learning opportunities and incredible outcomes for all.

As students return to Langley, there are some items to keep in mind.

Now that we’ve gotten the reminders out of the way, I would like to officially welcome our freshmen and transfer families to Langley High School. We are thrilled that you’re here. We will do all we can to ensure that your student has a phenomenal high school experience. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you over the course of the school year. If there’s anything that you or your student needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

It was wonderful to welcome new students to Saxon Country during yesterday’s orientations. Thank you to all of the students, staff, parents and coaches who helped to make them an overwhelming success. We hope students and families found the event helpful. Here are a few pictures from the events.

Here’s to a great year!

Fondly,

Emergency Care Form, Health Information Form 

The goal of the health room is to ensure your student experiences a healthy and safe school year. To proactively plan, we ask that parents/guardians complete the Online/Verification Update packet in SIS ParentVUE to include emergency contact information, Health Information Forms, and Emergency Care Forms. The Online Verification Update (OVU) packet allows parents to review and update phone numbers, emergency contacts, and health information (such as health conditions and immunizations) for students in grades PS/HS and kindergarten through 12th grade. The enrolling parent will be able to access OVU through their SIS ParentVUE account. OVU will be available on July 29th. To assist you, follow this link to the site.

Please update no later than September 6, 2024. 

Back to School Medication Drop-off

If your student will have a medication at school, please complete the appropriate authorization form: medication, inhaler and/or epinephrine. A new authorization form is required annually for medications kept in the health room, and for students who self-carry emergency medications such as inhalers or epinephrine. 

Please note that an authorization form is also required for medications needed during any FCPS-sponsored activity occurring outside of regular school hours (ex: field trips, sports, band, drama, chorus, etc.) in accordance with FCPS Medication Administration Regulation 2102.

Parents may drop off unexpired medications and forms in the health room on

Tuesday, August 13th, and Thursday, August 15th from 8 am to 3 pm.

Once school begins, medication may be dropped off any school day from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.  Students who are self-carrying emergency medication may drop off authorization forms in the health room. 

Medication Guidelines

FCPS continues to follow medication protocols to help ensure the safety of medication administration at school.  Important requirements include:

• Any time you drop off or pick up a controlled medication in the health room, both the parent/guardian and School Health Aide/FCPS staff member will complete and sign a Medication Delivery/Pick Up Form documenting, among other things, the type and quantity of medications dropped off/picked up.  A copy of the completed form will be provided to the  parent/guardian and school administrator.
• Medications will be reviewed to ensure the medication description on the container/packaging matches the medication in the container.
• All prescription medications must have a pharmacy label on the original pharmacy container. Over the counter (OTC) medications must be in an unopened original container. It is not acceptable for parents/guardians to bring in refills and transfer those medications into the container in the health room throughout the school year.
• Only a 30-day supply of prescription medications should be brought to school. No more than 100 tablets or pills of OTC medication should be brought to school.

School Health Room Information 

School Health Room Services Include:

1. Care of sick and injured students in accordance with the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Health Emergency Temporary Care Guidelines and students’ individualized health care/action plans, if applicable.
2. Administration of medication provided by parents/guardians with proper authorization completed by their health care provider.
3. Coordination of care for students with chronic health conditions during the school day.

4. Hearing and vision screening (grades K, 3, 7, 10, new to FCPS, and those students referred by teachers and parents/guardians).

Student Chromebook Information 

Chromebook distribution for new students, incoming freshmen, and for students who did not keep their Chromebooks over the summer will occur during all English classes on the first and second days of school. Students who kept their Chromebooks over the summer are advised to power on their devices to ensure they are charged and to receive updates prior to the first day of school. Additionally, all students can expect to receive an email from the FCPS Tech Support Desk during the week of August 12th, which will contain resources and information regarding FCPS Chromebooks.

Student Insurance

During the school day, a student may have an accident that results in injury. There is a common misconception that FCPS (Fairfax County Public Schools) is financially responsible for medical bills resulting from such injuries. However, this is not the case.

Students who participate in sports are required to have health insurance. FCPS does not provide medical insurance for students, but parents can purchase low-cost Voluntary Student Insurance through K & K Insurance Group.

This student accident insurance program offers an affordable way for parents to cover medical or dental expenses resulting from their child's accident. For those who already have medical or dental insurance, this additional coverage can help with deductibles, limitations, and exclusions. For those without medical insurance, these accident policies provide primary coverage.

Please read the information on K&K Student Accident Insurance found here, to determine if this coverage would be beneficial for your child.

Greetings Saxons,

As we close out the school year, Saxon swagger is on full display. Let the shout outs begin!

Langley Bands have been named a National Winner of the Blue Ribbon "Program of Excellence" award, given by the National Band Association! This award recognizes band programs which achieve excellence throughout ALL aspects of the curriculum - all concert bands, marching band, jazz band, and more. Also, it rewards excellence over a long period of time; the application required material from the last five years. Langley joins only thirty other high schools across the country to have ever been given this award.

The 2024 edition of the Langley Yearbook & THERE IT IS has been selected for Varsity Yearbook’s National Showcase. Just 18 books in the entire country received this honor! Congratulations to the yearbook staff!

Members of the Langley Speech & Debate team wrapped up their season at the NCFL Grand Nationals Tournament in Chicago. Six Langley students who qualified for the nationwide tournament that drew from more than 2,000 students from 398 schools from across the country. Langley’s two Public Forum teams of Connor Chun and Vishwa Rakasi, and Sahil Gubbi and Ahaan Shah excelled beyond belief, finishing as Co-National Champions.

As the school year draws to a close, we bid farewell to a valued group of educators who are moving on to new adventures.

• Six dedicated teachers are retiring, taking with them a wealth of knowledge and experience that has enriched the lives of countless students. We sincerely thank them for their years of service to Langley High School.
• One ambitious teacher has received an exciting promotion, and we are thrilled to see her take on a new leadership role. Her dedication and talent will undoubtedly continue to inspire students and staff alike.
• Four adventurous teachers are embarking on new journeys which will take them out of the area. We thank them for their contributions to Saxon Country.
• Three teachers have accepted teaching positions at schools closer to their homes. Their new schools will be enriched by their many talents.
• Due to changes in staffing needs, three teachers will not be returning next year. We appreciate their service to our school and wish them the very best in their future endeavors.

To all of these departing educators, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your commitment to our students. You have made a lasting impact on Saxon Country, and we will miss your presence in our hallways. We wish you all the very best in your next chapters!

As we wave goodbye to the school year, Saxon Country, here's to a blessed summer! Recharge, reconnect, and make memories that last. See you in the fall, refreshed and ready to shine!

Fondly,

Did You Know...

Nir Eyal from Psychology Today writes, “Summer is an excellent opportunity to teach kids to control their time and attention: the precious skill of becoming indistractable that will transfer to the next school year (and the rest of their lives). Here are tips to craft a summer schedule for your kids.

Summer Chromebook Collection

Summer Programs: Any student completing a summer course, program, independent study, workshop, etc should keep their issued Chromebook and charger. Any student who keeps their Chromebook and charger will be sent an email to confirm that they are responsible for the Chromebook and charger for the summer 2024.

Returns: Students not returning to Langley next year must return a Chromebook and charger. If a Chromebook needs repair, it must be returned with a charger. Collection will take place on June 11, 2024 in classrooms after the 7th period exam. Collection is also available on June 12, 2024, in the lounge area outside of the library.

Summer Office Hours 

Summer office hours will be 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. 

Offices will be closed on the following holidays:

Did You Know...

Yanet Vanegas, Psy.D from Psychology Today writes, “Social media is a double-edged sword. Its absence can leave individuals feeling isolated and "left out." We can never fully return to a time before social media, and most of us wouldn't want to. The curated perfection and deceptive portrayals on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook often leave teens grappling with unrealistic standards and confusion during their critical developmental years.” Here are tips to help teens navigate the digital landscape responsibly.

Did You Know...

Nauman Naeem MD from Psychology Today writes, “At any given moment there are hundreds of entities vying for our attention — whether they are people we are close to, workplace associates, email accounts, social media, popular culture, marketing and advertising, and global events.” This attention seeking is usually to fulfill someone else’s agenda. People fear being bored but in reality, it means nothing needs your attention in that moment. Here is the full article, The Beauty of Stillness

Senior Chromebook Collection:

Our school technology team will be collecting Chromebooks and chargers from seniors on May 28th, 2024. Details are outlined below. 

Important: Failure to return both the Chromebook and charger will result in a financial obligation that must be resolved to receive a cap and gown. 

• Laptop (Chromebook): $433.00
• Charger: $23.00

May 28th, 2024: Collection during all lunch periods in the lounge area outside the Library/Tech Office (Rm. 2213).

We strongly encourage all seniors to return their Chromebooks and chargers on these designated dates to avoid delays in receiving your cap and gown.

Grade Push Outs           

In an effort to ensure parents are informed of student progress, Langley HS has established ‘push-out’ days.  On these days, teachers will 'push out' grades to ensure grades are up-to-date for students/ families to best assess their current grade.  Please be on the look out for these emails from your child’s teacher!  If you do not receive any communication, please reach out to the teacher directly.
